  • Quiet dog-friendly north-west Anglesey site with sea views
  • Near the Anglesey Coast Path; 40 minutes' walk from Church Bay beach
  • Excellent spot for birdwatching, stargazing and sunset barbecues
After a secluded stay on Anglesey? Take a peek at peaceful Pengraig Campsite. Up at the isle’s most north-western point near Church Bay, it’s about as far as you can get from the mainland without actually ditching into the drink. With that far-flung setting comes a stunning sea view – one that can be gawped at for many hours from the comfort of your pitch (a recommended activity around sunset, with drink in one hand and a barbecue stoking implement in the other). See the sea from a different angle on the nearby Anglesey Coast Path or while strolling on the sands of one of the local beaches. The waves aren’t the only gazing material around here – turn your back on the coast for scenic views of Mynydd Y Garn hill, or bring binoculars for a bit of birdwatching. Once darkness falls, direct your gaze upwards; the lack of light pollution means the stars can often put on a glittering show here. This isn’t a place for folks seeking heaps of facilities and entertainment; the emphasis is very much on peace and nature. Low-key amenities include a drinking water supply, a chemical disposal point and a toilet block (with basins and proper flushing loos). If you want to venture out in search of eats, pub meals and seafood suppers are five minutes’ drive away in Church Bay, and a little supermarket 15 minutes away in Cemaes.

Primitive grass campsite (overflow)

Liked: Lovely quiet location, loads of room for the dog to stretch his legs and loads of room between other campers (we stayed in the overflow which we preferred), sea views and warm, friendly welcome by the host. Great for walks to the local beaches - closest one was a mile away, and stunning Church Bay was a 45 minute walk and well worth it - cracking safe sandy beach and brilliant cafe close by.

Disliked: Portaloo was a little basic, but 1 minute walk to the main sites toilets which are more your regular type of flushing loo. 4G was intermittent at best (not always a bad thing!).

Primitive grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: The friendly host, the view, the access to the coastal route, the lovely sunset, the clean toilets.
This was a last minute booking and it didn't disappoint. We arrived for a couple of nights over the bank Holiday and picked this site for the peaceful settings and the local walks. The acces to the coastal path is just across the roads and the scenery was just lovely. We even had the pleasure of spotting a couple of seals in the water! We would happily return.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Absolutely loved here, the views are incredible and has lots of lovely coastal and mountain walks around the camp. The owner is lovely we met Andrew a few times and his wife makes some AMAZING brownies which they have for sale in the little hut next to camp ( we indulged in these a few times). We loved how peaceful it was here and enjoyed relaxing by the tent with our feet up watching the sunset.
We can't wait to come back here again soon and if you're looking for somewhere to relax this is the place. Plenty to explore around the area we visited lots of different places around Anglesey one of our favourite places being Llanddwyn Island 🏝️

Primitive grass RV campsite

Liked: Super site, rural with beautiful views. We stayed for two nights. Two very clean toilets with an outdoor sink. Firepits allowed which was great as it meant we could sit outside on a March evening. Host visited each evening to check everything was ok. Would definitely visit again.

Local attractions

All visitors to Anglesey should angle for as much coastal time as possible. That may well include lengthy rambles on the Anglesey Coast Path (which passes close to Pengraig) and/or as many hours as you can spare for beach time. Take a 20-minute stroll to rocky Ynys y Fydlyn beach or head south for 40 minutes on foot to the (often almost empty) sands of Church Bay. Stick around in Church Bay for a glance into the past at the Swtan Heritage Museum, then drive for 25 minutes or so to Amlwch, the northernmost town in all of Wales. It may look rather sleepy now but back in the day (the late 1800s) around 10,000 people gathered here around the world’s largest copper mine. Get an idea of what the place was like back then at the town’s Copper Kingdom Centre, then take a colourful walk round the old mine at Parys Mountain. After you’ve knocked around the north for a bit, head south for visits to Beaumaris Castle (45 minutes) and Ynys Llanddwyn (50 minutes), the island dedicated to the Welsh patron saint of lovers. A photo stop by the sign for the UK’s longest town name is a must, too. Deep breath and all together now… Llanfair­pwllgwyngyll­gogery­chwyrn­drobwll­llan­tysilio­gogo­goch (35 minutes).
